Smart lights have many distinct advantages over “dumb” lights, with the most obvious being integration into your wider smart home. However, one terrific advantage to smart lights is the ability to dim them even if they are in a fixture that doesn’t support dimming. After all, LED lights can be incredibly bright at full power, so many folks leave them dimmed all the time.
Unfortunately, I’ve been having an issue with Philips Hue bulbs in my home randomly skyrocketing from 40% brightness (where I like to leave them) to 100% brightness. I’ll just be sitting on the couch or reading in bed, and boom, my lights will become tiny little suns. The problem started happening only about a week ago, and nothing I do seems to solve it.
